Homebrew Feyskipper Species Details

Feyskippers are the elusive children of Fey creatures and Humans. Not much of this half race is known because of how rarely they are seen. Fey creatures tend to leave the mortal realm to it’s own devices (except for the occasional tricks played here and there) preferring to spend time with their own kind. So for the Fey to spend enough time here to mate with a human is a rare occasion.

The Feyskippers earned their name as a result of their natural ability to “skip” between our realm and the fey’s; allowing them to teleport short distances. Feyskippers tend to dwell in forests and woods. However, they are a very sociable race and thus it is not uncommon to see them outside this setting, in larger cities and towns.

Feyskippers tend to have the same range of heights as humans, but like the Fae they are usually very thin and sprightly. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include virtually any color, and in some rare cases certain colors have been seen to shimmer in the light. They have horns or antlers that protrude from their temple that can resemble those of elk, rams, or other woodland creatures, as well as a tail that ends with a tuft of hair. Their eyes are solid colors—black, red, white, silver, gold, or sometimes more exotic colors—often with no visible pupil. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually bright, from white or blonde to vibrant pinks, greens and purples. But some choose to dye their hair darker colors so they may blend in more easily.

They live twice as long as humans, thanks to their Fey blood, and reach adulthood around the age of 40, but despite this they always seem to have a childlike demeanor, ever curious and lively.

Feyskippers like to travel and see the world around them which is usually what brings them to different parties or groups of adventurers. Led by their curious nature they like to go from place to place, never staying too long in a single area, searching for treasures, natural wonders, and other people who they may develop relationships with. Their is always an air of whimsy or excitement around Skippers, they are usually the loudest and most excitable of any group, and you would be hard pressed to find a Feyskipper who didn’t enjoy your company; whether you enjoyed theirs is a different matter entirely.
